The price s of pair of shoes plus 2% sales tax . the algebraic expression is ?

Let x = the price of pair of shoes excluding the 2% sales tax 

We can derive the algebraic expression for the price of the shoe after adding the sales tax by adding the 2% multiplied to x. 

Therefore, the algebraic expression of the price of the shoe would be: 

x + 2%x or 1.02x

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

that is a very good question
